The character will be absent in the final season due to Kevin Spacey's firing.

"My first 100 days as president have been difficult. I lost my husband. We were about to celebrate 30 years together. Whatever Francis told you in the last five years, don’t believe a word of it," says President Claire Underwood.

This is the first season without former lead Kevin Spacey. His character, Francis, dies, which forces his wife and VP to take the helm. She doesn't seem to be missing him too much as she declares “the reign of the middle-aged white man is over.”
